3 4. Envirnmental Prduct Declaratin (EPD ) While it is pssible t publish LCA data cncerning a given prduct, a further step is t prvide third party certified ec- prfile. This is an added value t be used in advanced green markets and t supprt green purchasing, especially by public authrities (GPP green public prcurement). Systems usually emplyed in Life Cycle Assessment studies trace all energy and materials flws starting frm the extractin frm the earth thrugh their use and destinatin in a prduct/service until their final dispsal [6]. The Internatinal EPD System ( has develped a set f rules able t guarantee a higher reprducibility f figures and cntents extracted by an LCA analysis. These data are published in a shrt dcument structured as a label, cntaining the fllwing infrmatin: presentatin f the Cmpany and details n the prduct glbal envirnmental perfrmance f the prduct as use f renewable resurces use f nn-renewable resurces emissin f pllutants It is f curse a vluntary tl, as LCA, but it is furthermre riented twards a cmplete transparency fr what cncerns the envirnmental aspects that can then be added t the envirnmental general infrmatin. Frm this pint f view, besides the cnsistency f making available figures and perfrmances, the EPD prvides data that can be directly cmpared fr an envirnmentally cnscius chice. 5. An EPD case study A pilt prject driven by the Italian Assciatin f Expanded Plystyrene (AIPE), which invlved sme assciated cmpanies - and fllwed by ther similar prjects managed by the Italian Plyurethane Rigid Fam Assciatin (ANPE) - cnstitutes a gd example f envirnmental sensibility. The LCA prcedures have demnstrated their ptential and have been then widely used. In particular, an Italian cmpany, that is active in the sintered plystyrene fam sectr fr nise and heat insulatin and fd/industrial packaging, after several activities fr envirnmental certificatins, started an LCA study (Fig. 2) that arse in an EPD fr Greypr Fam Plystyrene, available at Data, prvided fr 1 kg f prduct, are presented in Table I and II.
